Joker--Rebellion And Comedy In Tragedy

Joaquin Phoenix is at the peak of his career. Whether it's control, expression management or gestures, it's getting better. His handling and interpretation of the character Joker did not disappoint, with a pair of butterfly wings twisting and protruding on the thin bones and a creepy laughter. The photography is very good; the tone texture and hand-cranking mirror really have nothing to say. The sense of rhythm is very good for a commercial film rated R. It burys some anti-social and anti-capital connotations very deeply, which is more in line with the public's taste, and it is better for ordinary audiences to dig out, especially the kind of pseudo-high-level sense and rebel spirit. From this point of view, the director is really a chicken thief. The setting is also very interesting. The movie Bruce watched before losing his parents changed him forever. It was interesting, but he was not late at all (laughs).

It's not wrong to say "Taxi Driver" of this era, but I think it's better to say that "Joker" is a work that stands on the shoulders of such giants and looks at the future of genre films. As a work that focuses on the commercial market and hopes to maximize its audience, it is inevitable that the lofty and far-reaching purpose is still overwhelmed by the connotation of pure rebellion and resistance. It is limited to the pattern and sight, which makes this film a success. commercial comics and unsuccessful anti-social films. It is obviously unwise to talk about the conflict between the evil of mediocrity and social problems and class antagonism, and it is obviously unwise to be limited by fixed thinking, maybe in the process of making Arthur Fleck the clown, from the mediocre and pathetic to the omnipotent Chaos. God's transformation is ridiculous, but that's why Joker's story isn't a tragedy, it's a comedy. He does bring laughter to people, interpreting righteousness with chaos in this sad society. This is the joke of the clown. Maybe the director's more detailed interpretation of the clown's motives can improve the overall sense of frailty of this image; otherwise it will uselessly export chaotic ideas to people and constantly give purer evil a higher connotation. The senseless violence and guilt of yours is no different.

    [C+] The book is really too slow. A lot of the pages seem to be just to leave some room for Phoenix performance, so it has no head and no tail, and it can be seen that the director's ability is still somewhat lacking and difficult to support ambition. The reason for giving a bad review is nothing more than not good-looking, and then it feels like there is not much to say. Some U.S. media’s evaluations really made me bewildered after watching the film. Some obvious shortcomings aside, I have to cut the negative reviews from the perspective of gun violence and social influence. . If this film can be called extremely inflammatory, then DC's early years of Dark Knight and everything should be watched as a banned film.

    Who is the villain? Is it the preconceived clown in the comics? Is it anarchism that is instigated to kill the rich to subvert power? Is it a condescending elite, why not eat meat? Or is it the system itself that drives society at high speed with class differentiation as its wheels? On the surface, it is a sharp confrontation of ideology. It is the clown’s unbearable soul being torn apart piece by piece. It is the use of poison to fight against the disease as an antidote; the core is the inversion and confusion of political positions, and it is the clown’s broken personality that has been reshaped a little bit. It was a long imprisonment in the name of healing that finally got its name. Who you think is the villain determines where you are, and the position of thousands of us determines where this tightly connected and riddled world will head. The questions from "Joker" were shocking, but it was unable to answer all the questions.

Joker quotes

  • Thomas Wayne: What kind of coward would do something that cold blooded? Someone who hides behind a mask. Someone who is envious of those more fortunate than themselves, yet they're too scared to show their own face. And until those kinds of people change for the better, those of us who made something of our lives will always look at those who haven't as nothing but clowns.

  • Arthur Fleck: Comedy is subjective, Murray, isn't that what they say? All of you, the system that knows so much: you decide what's right or wrong the same way you decide what's funny or not.
